About This Skill

# Web Browsing Skill

This skill enables browsing websites, extracting content from URLs, and searching the web for information.

When to Use

  • Use this skill when:
  • User asks you to visit a website (e.g., "Check out example.com")
  • User wants webpage content summarized
  • User needs current information that requires internet search
  • User provides a URL and wants it analyzed
  • User asks to search for something online

How It Works

1. Direct URL Access When given a specific URL: ```markdown User: "What's on https://example.com?" → Visit the page, extract main content, summarize key points ```

2. Web Search When user asks to search: ```markdown User: "Find information about climate change" → Perform web search, present top results with summaries ```

3. Content Extraction For specific data extraction: ```markdown User: "Get the latest news from techcrunch.com" → Navigate to site, extract relevant articles/headlines ```

Tools Available

  • web_search: Search the web for information
  • fetch_url: Visit and retrieve webpage content
  • extract_content: Parse HTML and extract structured data

Best Practices

  1. Be specific - Tell me what you want from the page (summary, specific data, latest news)
  2. Provide URLs - If you have a specific page, share the URL directly
  3. Clarify intent - Let me know if you need:
  4. - Quick summary
  5. - Detailed analysis
  6. - Specific data points
  7. - Latest updates

Examples

```markdown ✅ "Visit https://news.ycombinator.com and summarize today's top stories" ✅ "Search for the latest React.js tutorial" ✅ "Check what's on Wikipedia's page about quantum computing" ✅ "Find pricing information from apple.com/iphone" ❌ Just say "browse the web" - be more specific! ```
